Dt me uauy news, Longview, i nursaay.sepiemoer 11, Detectives' use of boy, 17, for drug buy draws criticism fice, the parents and the juvenile's attorney. The deci- rr- XI fl.lJ i wine Kfl to use him for a drug buy. "If I had been asked permission to release him for anything drug-related, I would not have released him because he had an identified drug problem," Watson said. Sheridan said using the boy for an attempted drug buy was not planned, and only came up late in the afternoon when the boy said he could arrange a buy while they were driving around the county identifying the burglaries. "He brought it up," Sheridan said.

"He wanted revenge against a certain individual." One advantage of using juveniles for drug buys, Sheridan said, is that if someone is convicted of selling drugs to minors, it's an automatic year in prison. Jon Taylor, chief criminal deputy for the sheriff's office, said he wasn't upset that Sheridan and Bodine tried to use the boy for a drug buy. Taylor refused to respond to criticisms lodged by the boy's mother and Morgan. But Kelso Police Chief Tony Stoutt said his department would have handled it differently. "We just simply don't do those things," Stoutt said.

He said his department wouldn't use a juvenile for a drug buy without clearing it through the prosecutor's of that her son ay be hurt or killed if he's sent to prison. She said she will fight plans to remand him to adult status, which means he would be sent to state prison if he was convicted of some of the 17 charges against him. The remand hearing will be held Sept. 23. "I know word gets out (about the attempted drug buy), and if he was sent to prison, I don't think he'd survive," she said.

"I don't think he should have been used that way. "They endangered his life by doing that," she added. "There's a lot of mean people out there and I worry about his safety, I really do. "They didn't even let his (probation officer) know what was happening," she said. She said she would not have approved of it because her son "has a history xf running." "I felt it was inappropriate that he was taken out for one intent and used for something else," said Juvenile Court Administrator Richard Morgan.

He also criticized the use of the boy for an attempted drug buy. "I just don't think it's appropriate to be using minors to assist in something like that," he said. The boy's probation officer, Cathie Watson, and his attorney, Alex Styve, said they didn't know about the plan By Kevin Dolan The Daily Newi Cowlitz County sheriff's detectives use of a 17-year-old to try to buy drugs and the boy's escape during the drug-buy setup have drawn criticism from his mother and Cowlitz County juvenile authorities. Juvenile authorities said they weren't told that the boy was going to be used for a drug buy when he was taken from the Cowlitz County Juvenile Detention Center by two sheriff's detectives Aug. 7.

The boy escaped from detectives during the drug-buy setup that day. He was caught a week later at his mother's house in Kelso. (According to Daily News policy, juveniles' identities are not published unless they are charged with a traffic offense, are escapees at large in the community or have been remanded to be tried in the adult courts.) Sheriff's Detective Dan Sheridan said he and Detective Dave Bodine checked the boy out of the center early Aug. 7 to identify burglaries he had committed, but later used him to arrange a drug buy. Because word has gotten out that her son tried to buy drugs for the detectives, his mother said she's worried sion couldn De aae Dy onicers in we ueiu auu muuc cleared by a lieutenant, he said.

Longview police Lt. Hal Mahnke said his department has used juveniles in drug buys before, but officers always made sure they had permission from a parent or guardian. Longview Police Chief Ed Bourdage was reluctant to second-guess the sheriff's detectives use of the boy without his probation officer's, attorney's or mother's permission. Because use of a juvenile for a drug buy would only be under "isolated and special circumstances," Bourdage said there may be circumstances where a juvenile would be used without notifying the parents. Taylor said the decision to use the boy for a drug buy was cleared through the detective sargeant.

Prosecutor Bert Paul said he OK'd the plan to use the boy to buy drugs. The boy now has 10 burglary charges, one charge of attempted auto theft, three charges of malicious mischief, two escape charges and one theft charge filed against him.

She was hesitant with the family's cats, "and yet we've had cats ever since she was born," Gloria Cook said.

They also went to R.A. Long Park to see if she could recall what happened after she left a friend at the Triangle Shopping Center Monday afternoon, saying something about going to the post office to mail a letter and a sm all package to a pen pal in Germ any.

The unidentified man then drove her to the Hall of Justice and dropped her off. She plans to sign up for classes today at Lower Columbia College and start school Monday. "We're taking her over this afternoon to register her in some art classes," her mother said. "That was going to be her minor, but since we don't know what kind of math, history, English she can cope with, we're going to go with art." Earlier this week, Kyra saw something written in German and was pleased to find that she knew what it said. Though frustrated that she doesn't recognize their faces, Tolby said, Kyra1 is "relieved that there are many people around her who care for her.

A lot of her tension was relieved by being identified."

"Part of bringing that about is providing a safe, supporting environment for her," he said. "Too many people should not intrude in her life at once.

We all need to be slow and let Kyra return to what was her normal environment. Too much new is tense for any of us." On Wednesday, she left the hospital for a few hours sisters, Cathie Poulson of Spokane and Danna Mobley of Newport, and several nieces and nephews.

The suspect, a 24-year-old Longview man, had not been found by late this morning. The victims, ages 29 and 21, told Longview officers they were sitting in their adjacent vehicles in a parking area shortly after 2 a.m. when the suspect and the younger victim exchanged words.

Witnesses said the suspect pulled a handgun out, worked the action, then pointed the weapon toward the victims. One witness said the man raised the gun slightly and fired a shot over the heads of the two men. After the gun discharged, witnesses said, he lowered it and pointed it toward the men again. The victims drove off. Witnesses said the gunman left in a maroon Chevrolet El Camino sports pickup.

Police have not released the name of the suspect, but said a similar charge was filed against him in December of 1985 when he was accused of displaying a weapon and pointing it toward an occupied vehicle. Officers were told the same man pulled a gun on one of this morning's victims late in August near the Columbia Valley Gardens School. That incident was not reported at the time.
